AN RULING.
Ditch Owners Must Answer--An Inter-
esting Argument.

The district court convened at 10
O'Clock yesterday morning, Chief Justice
Maginnis presiding.
Nearly the entire day was consumed in
hearing arguments OF the. question as to
whether ~pleadings are necessary in the
ditch cases. The question arose on Tues
day, an objection having been made to
the introduction of testimony regarding
one of the bitches included in the pro.
~ceedings now pending, the objection being
based on the fact that no answer to the
original motion or petition had been filed
In behalf of that particular ditch. The
argument which followed was participated
In by Mcssrs. Clark, Lacey. VanDeyanter,
Sewers and others, the first three argu-
ing that no pleadinRs other than what had
already been filed were necessary. Yes
terdsy morning tho argument was re-
snmed by Judge Lacey in support of the
view that pleadings were not necessary,
u. w. Sewers taking the opposite view
of the question. Both made splendid ar
guments and presented the question in as
clear a light as possible from opposing
stsndpoints- The argument was con.
tinued for a considerable length Of
time by Mr.. Sewers yesterday,
after which the cour proceeded to an.
nounce n decision in this most important
matter. The ruling briefly stated. was to
the effect that the law under which these
ditch cases have arisen, though a special
one, or rather provides for a special class
OF cases, must nevertheless be construed
in the light of the civil code which pro
vides for a certain line OF procedure il
civil cases and that as there is no incon-
sistency between the irrigation law anG
the code, the code must be resorted to il
giving it effect. Such being the case
pleadings must be filed the same as il
other cases and parties would not be per
mitted to come in and offer testimony un
less an answer had been filed in that par
ticular case whereby an issue of som,
kind is made up.
This decision leaves these cases in the
position whereby the attorneys interested
will have to go to work and file answers,
and evidence will only be taken in those
cases where in accordance with this ruling
this has been as may hereafter be done.
1t is not clearly f~oreseen now how this
ruling need to have the effect of materially
delaying the progress of the cases.

lakes are now filling up 80 rapidly that in

BASE BALL parks discount churches for
Sunday gatherings. Last Sunday there
were $4,000 people in attendance at the

sufficient to form forty average oOngre-
cations. Law is the will OF majority, or
supposed to be, for the government OF
the minority. There Is law against
Sunday base ball playing and yet the ma
jority patronlze the sport. Something not
perfectly sound somewhere. The min
